For years Dr. Malhorta’s life was characterized by a restricted diet and regimented exercise which left her burnt out. The tipping point came when a woman she sat next to at a restaurant was indulging in all the sinful meals Dr. Malhorta could only ever dream of. This moment catalyzed Dr. Malhorta’s desire to help women crush their PCOS.
